ke6guj, what are your thoughts on paying for an NFA item only from a bank account setup in the name of the trust? There seems to be some split on other NFA forums I've been poking around on. Check coming from NFA Trust v personal credit card, etc.

I personally have never heard of any issues with someone using personal funds instead of trust funds to pay for an NFA item or the payment to BATFE. That said, I can only assume that there is a good reason that the NFA lawyers prefer that you use trust funds.
